TopReX 3.25—A specialized event generator for use with PYTHIA Original Research Article

This is the manual of the specialized event generator TopReX 3.25. The generator provides the simulation of several important processes in pp and pp̄ collisions, not implemented in PYTHIA (yet). Some of these processes include t-quarks whose spin polarizations are taken into account in the subsequent decay of the t-quarks. Several non-SM top quark decay channels are included, too. All calculated subprocesses can be accessed from PYTHIA as external processes. In addition, TopReX can be used as stand alone event generator, providing partonic final states before showering. In this mode the control of the event generation is taken by TopReX itself. A few simple examples of main routines, which show how to use TopReX in the different modes are discussed.
